Finally, the British government, determined to fight against the Russians, was courageously courageous and was directly stunned by General Patrick ’s request for help.

Putting down the telegram in his hand, Prime Minister Gladstone questioned doubtfully: ”Isn't there already 400,000 troops on the front line? Why do you need reinforcements?”

It ’s not that the Gladstone Prime Minister made a fuss. It ’s true that Britain has never played such a large-scale strategy game.

Before the war broke out, more than 400,000 troops were gathered on the front line. If 20 more infantry divisions are reinforced, the total strength will approach the 700,000 mark.

A local war is so big that it is completely beyond the cognitive scope of Prime Minister Gladstone.

Rosario, the Secretary of the Army: ”My Excellency the Prime Minister, the Army Department has carefully studied Lt. Patrick's request for assistance, and basically can confirm that his request is reasonable.

The Russians are coming aggressively. According to intelligence, they have invested half a million troops in Central Asia, and it is possible to continue to increase troops later.

Because of the distance, the enemy's troop growth rate will be much faster than ours. It is necessary to ensure that the front line has sufficient troops.

Otherwise, you can only count on the support of the Governor-General of India. IMHO, the Governor ’s District of India does not have the capacity to respond to emergencies.

Once the war with the Russians is made, the Indian region will become unstable. Maintaining stability in the Indian region is the most important job of the Indian Governor.

It is irresponsible to draw too much troops from the Indian region to enter the front line if there is no preparation in advance, and when the war breaks out.

Second, the Afghan region has always been uneven, and the locals and the Russians colluded to resist our rule.

Due to the mountainous area of ​​Afghanistan, the strongholds of the resistance organizations are all in the deep mountains and old forests. Our troops in the Afghan area have carried out several rounds of encirclement and suppression.

Once the war with the Russians breaks out, these people will jump out and cause destruction. We must leave enough troops to deal with emergencies and prevent them from cooperating with the Russians.

... ”

There are a lot of reasons, and there is only one summary. That is to expand the army quickly. The front line is almost waiting.

Although the mother-in-law has always been adopted, the Army is also pursuing. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for military expansion will not give up what we say.

Rosario, who was a civil servant, was naturally aware of the twists and turns, but as an army minister his **** had already decided on his position.

If the military station was demolished at this time, then the subsequent work did not need to be done. The following people might have a way to kill him.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Xiao Zhi Childs sneered: ”Your Excellency, you should know the situation in Afghanistan. The frontline wants to maintain 700,000 troops. How many people are you going to use to support the logistics?

One million people or two million people, or three million people, or even four million people? ”

This is the most realistic problem. Afghanistan is a landlocked country. Materials such as food cloth may be allowed to go out of the Indian Governorate, but weapons and ammunition must be transported from the mainland.

If we add up all the production and transportation personnel, and there are not millions of people serving the frontline troops, we simply cannot support the expedition of laborers of this size.

Army Minister Rosario shook his head: ”These problems do exist, but we have no choice, do we?

The Russians will not care whether we have difficulties, as long as they are ready, the Russian army will fight.

For the safety of India, we must take the initiative to fight. If you do not fight the defense of Afghanistan now, you will have a battle to defend the Ganges in the future.

As for the difficulties we are facing now, there is not no way to overcome them. What we lack most is labor.

It is enough to recruit labor directly from India. The part with the highest labor cost is nothing more than the domestic production and transportation process. Just bite your teeth and stick with it.

Due to the financial situation of the Russian Empire, they will not be able to compete with us in the Afghan region for a long time.

As long as the Russians are defeated once or twice to make them aware of the strength gap between the two sides, the following problems will be easier to deal with. ”

Smashing money is also a must.

The strength of the Russian Empire is not weak. The biggest problem lies in the finances. The wealthy Britain has no reason to let go of this obvious loophole, and do not fight with them for financial power and run for a decisive battle.

Stud played a decisive battle at once, which seemed to be majestic, but actually danced with his head around his waist. Once he failed, he took the National Games into it.

Without the sunless empire of India, is it really the sunless empire? I'm afraid that in three or five years, I can only abdicate and let the virtuous.

This is also where everyone struggles most. It is too costly to send troops and reinforcements. Great Britain, which has a big business, will also feel a pain. If you do n’t send troops and reinforcements, and worry that the front line will be out of control, the Russians will threaten India ’s security.

After hesitating for a while, Prime Minister Gladstone said slowly: “Let ’s vote collectively and report the final resolution to Parliament for approval by the Senate and the House of Representatives.”

In situations where the situation is unknown and unwilling to take responsibility alone, collective resolution is undoubtedly the best choice.
